Score 90/100 · Drink 2021-2030, Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux, Jul 2021
Fresh acidities lift the raspberry and smoky tobacco leaf aromatics. Sour cherry notes on the palate, with firm tannins that build slowly and delicately, giving plenty of confidence that it will age well over the next few years. First released through the Place in March 2021, making this my second tasting.

The 2018 La Vite Lucente is bright, fresh and wonderfully perfumed. Sweet dark cherry, plum, mocha, lavender and wild flowers all run through this gracious, mid-weight red. Fresh and nuanced, the 2018 is a big departure from the wines of a few years ago. The purity of the fruit here is striking.
